“We are delighted to be honored once again by The National Law Journal as a top national midsize law firm,” said Thomas D. Kearns, a partner in the Real Estate practice at Olshan. “This significant acknowledgement is yet another indicia of Olshan’s position in the market as a leading national law firm with a bench of talented attorneys committed to client service that compete head to head with much larger firms.”

The National Law Journal profile of Olshan discusses its market position as a “"right size" firm, [that] continues to carve a niche as the "go to" firm for many of Wall Street's successful shareholder activists,” representing an overwhelming 22 percent majority of the 507 activist campaigns in 2015. The article also references Olshan’s success in winning a dismissal of all trademark and related state law claims by Lions Gate Entertainment Inc. against their clients, Havas Worldwide and TD Ameritrade Holding Corp., a team effort with the Litigation and Advertising, Marketing & Promotions practice, and the firm’s continued success in prevailing in the decades long trademark litigation between its client, the U.S. Polo Association, and Ralph Lauren, a team effort with the Litigation and Intellectual Property practices. Other matters mentioned include the "out-of-the-box" strategy devised by the Shareholder Activism practice for client H Partners Management LLC to unseat three targeted directors of Tempur Sealy International Inc., and the Real Estate practice’s lead in Madison Equities LLC's $260 million acquisition and financing of the "crown jewel" of the Ring real estate portfolio in New York.

As Mr. Kearns noted in the article, Olshan offers its lawyers "the ability to do really interesting, high-quality work in an entrepreneurial situation where that includes long-lasting client relationships" and "We're also able to give clients high-quality service for much less than what they would pay an Am Law 50 firm."

The National Law Journal asked their readers to nominate law firms with between 51 and 150 attorneys that have used their creativity and skill to stay competitive in courtrooms and at deal tables across the U.S. The 20 firms highlighted, “have held their own, often against much larger firms, charting winning courses in high-stakes matters that led to key victories in 2015.”
